A meta-analysis of data from 1.1 million adults from 25 general-population cohorts, seven high-risk cohorts (of vascular disease), and 13 CKD cohorts indicated that the Chronic Kidney Disease ...

The 4-variable KFRE score still underestimated the risk for end-stage kidney disease, especially for Black patients. Predicting the risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) using only estimated ...

This study found that the recent change to remove race from the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may incorrectly label potential donors who are Black as having chronic kidney ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

Considerable controversy surrounds race-based algorithms in medicine - such as an adjustment for Black race in equations that estimate individuals' kidney function. A new study in CJASN has examined ...

A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.
